picture on monitor displays for 2 seconds

when I boot the computer the picture only displays on the Planar monitor for 2 seconds and disapears. If I turn the monitor off and on the picture will come back but only for about 2 seconds and disapears. The power light remains green. I hooked it to another computer and it does the same thing.
